    Decided I'd start one of these logs as Ive fallen off the bandwagon as of late. I started getting mysef into some sort of shape about 3months ago and had good results for the time I was bothering to do something.

    Unfortunately, with College back I have been falling back into my old ways. Eating terribly (but not as terribly as before) and generally being lazy, this relates to my college work too. I found that when I was out exercising I was much more mentally refreshed and focused. Obviouly, with the aforementioned lull in any sort of exercise this "focus" has somewhat waned.

    So; here I am, clambering back onto the fitness trail.

    __________________________________________________________

    I am male and currently just over 13stone and 5'11''. I was 14stone 4 in July.

    My diet I feel is ok,

    Breakfast:
    Muesli/Porridge or Eggs.

    Snacks involve rice cakes with various toppings, peanut butter/tuna/salmon. Maybe a hard boiled egg. Some Cheese.

    Lunch is usually some sort of wrap with Chicken, cheese and lots of veg filling.

    Snack again.

    Dinner is Chicken based usually. With a salad or some sort of veg, some rice/pasta on the side. Not much though.

    Snack again.

    Excercise wise: I play football twice a week most weeks.

    I intend on changing my daily routine and rising much earlier than before. Somewhere around 7:30am and getting my daily run and weights session in then.

    I'm going to be running 30mins a day, min. I also will do a weights session working on certain body area's aswell daily. For example, Arms/Chest on Monday. Shoulder/Back on tue/ Legs/Core on Wed. After each 3 day cycle then I will repeat and take Sunday off.

    Its not intense enough to make me need more rest I don't think but opinions welcomed.

    If you read all that, fair play, I thank you. All helpful comments/criticisms appreciated.

    As we all know, writing all that is the easy part. Now, onto the hard part.

    Just want to say good luck with the plan. Having it here as a log does help, it gives you somewhere to see your progress.

    And yeah, its hard. But that means its working.:)
